What Is Intuition? | Vishen Lakhiani

So the mindvalley intuition training is derived from a program that was created and tested on millions of people in the 70s, 80s and 90s by the late Jose Silva. Jose Silva was a mind science pioneer. He was one of the guys who first popularized meditation and biofeedback in the United states. And in 2002 I was an engineer in Silicon Valley. And I happened to take a class by Jose. Now he was long passed away at that time. He passed away in 1999 and this class was taught by one of his facilitators. I was astounded by what this class did for me. Basically I was in technology sales back then. In this particular class, it was on being able to access altered states of mind to unleash intuition. I know that sounds, it sounds like a bold statement, right? But this is what happened and I wrote about this in my best selling book, the Code of the Extraordinary Mind. Back then in 2002 in Silicon Valley, as I was in phone sales, I remember we would have to go to the San Francisco Public Library, check out the yellow pages, open it up to attorneys. And what we were selling was technology to law firms. And the standard procedure was this, you call every attorney from A to Z and pretty much 95% of them are going to hang up the phone on you or be very upset that you interrupted their day. Now, it was a miserable job. I hated it. But after coming back from that silver class, something shifted. I no longer randomly was calling attorneys from the Yellow Pages. I had learned that we as human beings have this inner ability called intuition. I could access an altered state, literally meditate within minutes in the office, move my hand down the yellow pages and feel an impulse. It almost feels as if you're guessing and know exactly who to call. Now, what I found is that in one week I doubled my sales. In one week, in fact, that doubling happened instantaneously. I, I'm a data driven guy. I'm an engineer. I have a degree from one of the top engineering schools in the world. But I couldn't explain this, but I also could not deny the data. Within a week of taking that class, literally, I had doubled my closing rate. Now, and it continued happening as I brought in more techniques from what I was learning from. Techniques to help me connect with the person on the other side of the phone through a certain degree of empathetic sensitivity. Techniques to visualize where I wanted to be in my career. My performance continued growing and growing and growing, and eventually I ended up being promoted three times in four months. That was the start of my career. I was 26 years old. Now, I stayed with that company for 18 more months, and then I wanted to do something bigger. So Mindvalley was that next result. It's now been 16 years since that incident. And in the past 16 years, I've gone really deep in the study of what Jose Silva was doing. I spent five years teaching this from 2003 to 2008. And I've incorporated a lot of these ideas into Mindvalley, into a fest, into everything we are doing. But it was this past year that I went to Jose Silva's son and Jose Silva's daughter. And we agreed that mindvalley was going to take some of the most advanced teachings from Jose Silva and reintroduce them back to the world, while also upgrading them and bringing in the latest science, the latest technologies and the latest ideas. This is what the MindValley Intuition training is about. Now, let me tell you what happens in this class. So, firstly, what you're going to go through is a form of mental programming. Now, we use sound technology to get you to go into what is called the alpha level of mind. This is an actual measurable state that a EEG machine can measure. It's a brainwave frequency associated with creativity, associated with meditation. And while you're at that brainwave frequency, your mind is very prone to programming. So imagine being able at a waking level so you're fully conscious of what's going on. To program your mind with new attitudes, new beliefs, to erase past beliefs that might be holding you back. You gain this ability. We don't just program you, we teach you how to program yourself. Now, a key part of that programming is, is programming you to unleash your intuition. It's programming your mind to be able to expand its concept of information gathering beyond your physical body. Now, before we even get to 4pm on day one, we make it a little bit more challenging. We now start programming you to access an even deeper level of mind, which is called the theta level of mind. The theta level of mind is what you're accessing when you are inspired. It's what you're accessing when you're highly creative. And it's what you're accessing when you have glimpses of psychic potential. There's a famous story of Thomas Edison. And in that story, it talks about how Thomas Edison would take his famous afternoon naps. But it wasn't just that he was napping. He would hold a metal ball in his hand and there'd be a metal plate on the ground. And he would drift into sleep. And as he did, his hand would drop, the ball would hit the plate, it would jolt him awake, and he'd have an insight or eureka moment. Now, what was going on there was that Edison was hacking. Accessing theta levels of mind. That's what you go into when you are napping, to spark ideas and intuition. Edison, of course, had something like 1,300 patterns to his name. Now, anyone can do this. Anyone can learn to get to waking theta frequencies to access information. And this is now being studied by labs and across the United States. We don't know how it works, but, look, there are lots of things that we don't fully understand how it works. It doesn't prevent us from being able to use them. So by the end of day one, you've learned how to reprogram your mind. You've learned how to access waking alpha and then waking theta. And then the fun begins. You get paired up with partners, and everyone brings an object into the class. Now, I want you to have an open mind, so you'll be partnered with someone you maybe have never met before. They will hand you an object wrapped in paper. You will hold the paper, access waking data. That means you're bringing your brain frequency down to a level that people are mostly usually asleep. But you're awake, and you will gain glimpses of insight on what might be in that paper. I've seen remarkable things happen in this class. Not everyone is going to get a hit right then, but when you get a hit, it's gonna blow your mind. For example, in one recent class, a person holding the piece of paper said, I see myself flying through the clouds. It's white clouds in a blue sky. When she unwrapped it, what she was holding was her partner's plane ticket. Another person said, I don't see anything. All I see is the number eight. When he unwrapped it, it was a keychain with an eight ball on it. So it's remarkable. Where is this information coming from? We don't find fully understand it, but I believe that there is a level of connection between you and me and everyone else in the world that's beyond what we can detect with our human bodies. And here we are tapping into something far, far, far deeper. We are tapping into what some people call psychic ability or esp, or what I prefer to call intuition. Now, when you get to day two, this is where things get even more exciting. In day two, you learn the art of remote viewing. Now, what this means is that you learn to project your awareness, to remotely view different locations and situations. So you learn to project your awareness not just into objects, but into biological organisms. We start with plant life, Then we go to animal life, and then we go to the anatomy of a loved one. And you're doing this seeking permission from their soul, their essence. And you do this because as we go into day two, you learn psychic detection and healing. There's this unique quality of the human body where when we seek to heal someone else, information that we need to help heal them comes to us extremely easily. So at the end of day two, you're not just able to function at waking theta. You're not just learned these powerful rules of programming so that you can rescript events from your past. You can clear your own subconscious blocks, but you learn to be partnered up with someone, to be given nothing more than four pieces of information. The name, age, gender, and location of a friend that they know that you have never met in your life. And you start downloading information on this friend with that friend's permission, of course. Very often, people are able to detect physical abnormalities, illnesses, and you end that session by giving healing to this person. For example, in a recent class, one of the subjects, as we call them, was a child. And you could tell it was a child, obviously, because of the date of birth on the card. But all the participants knew was the name, age, location, and gender. And it was funny because two participants out of four who were working with this child detected that there was something odd about the left side of this child's face. And it turned out this child was born with a birthmark that covered that part of his face. Now, the question is, how did they detect that? This was not some common thing like an allergy or a flu. It was a very unusual birthmark, but two out of four people detected it. Now, that's the sort of thing that happens in this class. Again, we cannot explain it. We cannot promise that you might experience it either. But the rate of occurrences of these types of information download are remarkable by day two of this class. And even if you don't get a hit during this class, intuition is like a muscle. You can train it. And we give you a training protocol that you can use at home over the next one month to increase your rate of intuitive glimpses. And it is powerful how rapidly this shifts in people. Now, it's not just intuition. The greatest gift that intuition gives you is the ability to be fully authentic to who you are, because you're not listening to the voices outside you. You're Listening to that voice inside you. And that voice inside you knows why you're here, what you're meant to do, what your purpose is. And so to be truly intuitive is a lot more than just being able to use your gifts of healing. You're able to shut out the rest of the culturescape that's often pushing and pulling and influencing you in the wrong directions. To buy mass consumerism products, to vote for, politicians who might want to manipulate you to take a path or career that's not true to you, but maybe your society or your education system or your parents want you to do. But when you listen to that voice within, you are so clear on what your purpose, what your goals, what your destiny is. And you operate at a whole different level. And then when you're able to access alpha and theta states, you're able to make the right decisions to get to that path faster. Now, as a bonus, this class also goes deep into using the mind to bend reality. You learn some of the most powerful tools I've encountered in my life to create synchronicities and coincidences to move you towards your goals. And another key aspect of that class, which personally was my favorite when I first took it 16 years ago, is teaching you how to access delta level brainwave states when you're asleep. To make your sleep hyper productive, to literally solve problems in your sleep. So if you find these interesting and if you have an open mind, go ahead and enroll below the class. Comes with a money back guarantee at the end of the class. If you don't feel this was what you expected to experience, you can get a full refund, no questions asked. We know this is a bold idea, but mark my words, mindvalley works with global education systems. We work with some of the most incredible companies in the world. We would not bring anything into the world if we felt that this wasn't rooted in study, in science. Effective, powerful and game changing for the human species. My goal is to take intuition training and ensure that 20 years from now, this is in most national schooling systems and this is being taught in most companies globally. Because intuition elevates human beings to the next level of their potential. And it not just makes us make better decisions, but when you are connected intuitively to the world around you, we're also connected to each other. We become a more peaceful, a more connected, a more loving, giving, compassionate species. Intuition leads to global unity. You cannot help but feel more empathy and compassion for others when you've activated your intuition because you understand that you are a lot more than just your physical body and that we are all connected in far deeper ways than we've been trained to believe. So if you find this interesting, I hope to see you in this class, Sam.
